This document summarizes the data revision observed in the ODYSSEE database in May 2011 after

the last update of the database. It is organized by country and sector.

4

Austria

1. Industry

- Coal consumption in industry / steel revised :

This is due to the fact that the national energy balance allocates parts of coke consumption to non

energetic consumption while Eurostat and IEA allocates total coke consumption to energetic

consumption. Data in ODYSSEE are now coherent with international data sources.

Belgium

1. Residential

- Estimation of energy consumption by end uses in households : revision of oil consumption for

space heating and water heating

Bulgaria

1. Transport

- Revision of data on car traffic : coherent with DGTREN data

- Revision of data on inland waterways traffic : coherent with DGTREN data

2. Services

- Revision of the number of employees in tertiary

Croatia

1. Macro

- Revision of macro economic data (GDP, Value added) by the Central Bureau of Statistic

2. Industry

- Revision of steel production: coherent with GHG national inventories and international

sources (Word Steel)

3. Transport

- Revision of gasoline consumption for cars, trucks & light vehicles (coherent with total road)

4. Residential

- Revision of electricity consumption in households for space heating & specific uses

Cyprus

1. Industry

- Revision of all value added in constant prices by industrial branches (since 1995) and related

consumption (since 1999)

2. Transport

- Revision of transport data on traffic coherent with DGTREN (DGTREN Energy and

Transport in Figures)

5

Czech Rep

1. Industry

- Revision of production index by branch since 1995

2. Transport

- Revision of the number of air passengers since 2000 (domestic & international)

- Average distance driven by cars : Estimated from pkm, stock and 1.8 persons/car. Persons/car

vary between 1.3 and 2 on working days and between 1.9 and 2.6 during weekends.

Denmark

1. Transport

- Revision of LPG consumption for road transport

- Revision of traffic of trucks and light vehicles

Finland

1. Industry

- Revision of energy consumption by industrial branches from 2000 to 2009

Due to some problems of confidentiality, some consumptions by energy type are not fully

coherent for 2008 and 2009 (wastes and biomass is for example for some branches include in

“other solid fuels”)

2. Transport

- Revision of jet fuel consumption in transport : includes both domestic and international air

consumption

- Revision of consumption of inland waterways transport

3. Residential

- Revision of the stock of permanently occupied dwellings: same as number of households

- Electricity consumption for 2008 and 2009 : includes also the consumption of real estates and

holidays residences (these years will be revised later)

4. Services

- Revision of gas and electricity consumption of early 1990

France

1. Macro

- Revision of economic data from INSEE in chained-prices of 2005 according to the new

nomenclature Nace Rev 2

- Revision of energy consumption for residential-tertiary-agriculture to take into account heat

consumption (national balances from the Ministry did not take into account heat as a final energy)

2. Industry

- Revision of value added and production index (chained-prices of 2005 and 2005 as reference

for production index)

6

3. Transport

- Revision of total road consumption : includes now foreign vehicles (the domestic

consumption is included in domestic road consumption and is coherent with the sum of

consumption of transport modes)

- Revision of gasoline and diesel consumption by vehicle type ; bioethanol and biodiesel are

now given separately

4. Residential

- Revision of the specific consumption per electrical appliances (estimations)

- Revision of the wood consumption (to take into account auxiliary heating by stoves)

- Revision of energy consumption for water heating and cooking from CEREN

Germany

1. Macro

- Revision of the official German energy balance back to 2003. Important revision for the

consumption of agriculture (and a big difference with Eurostat) and a doubling of the heat

consumption in industry/ households-tertiary-agriculture since 2003

For agriculture, official values are from 2001-2007 from survey (and partly data from the ministry

for agriculture). The data from 1990-2000 are estimates, based on the 2001-2007 data. There are

no official data on consumption for agriculture in Germany.

2. Transport

- Revision of LPG consumption for cars

- Revision of road transport consumption since 1991

Data based on domestic fuel sales, both including sales to Germans and foreigners.

- Revision of energy consumption of cars: Data based on km driven by Germans in Germany

and foreign countries

3. Industry

- Revision of some value added due to a change of methodology due to the new NACE

definition . “Other industries” is still a residual. We still fight with two different energy statistics

for industry with partly different definitions, missing energy carriers and also faults in both

statistics. In 2005 there was a clear fault in the energy balance for paper industry. We corrected

this mistake for paper (agreed by the people from the energy balance) but we could not correct

total industrial energy consumption because then we had to change total official final energy

consumption etc. Therefore, the mistake in paper industry now becomes visible in “other

industries”.

4. Households

- Revision of the stock of permanently occupied dwelling: Calculated with a share of permently

occupied dwellings from Prognos model

- Revision electricity and heat consumption for space heating

- Revision of electricity consumption of cooking and electrical appliances

The definition of end-uses in the German end-use balances is different from the Odyssee

definitions. Air conditioning is completely missing. Therefore, it is difficult to create these time

series. The problem is even more important for services .

5. Services

- Revision of energy consumption since 2001

Strict tertiary is the total service consumption from survey data . Data are only available from

2001 to 2007, since the German surveys started in 2001. In Germany, it also includes agriculture,

7

construction industry and small industrial enterprises below 20 employees. Unfortunately, they do

not exist any official data on energy consumption of these sectors in order to adapt the

consumption to the definition in Odyssee.
